Pairing passion
with proven strategy

Effective philanthropic families ask themselves questions like:

  • How can we make real change around the issues we care about?
  • How can we do something meaningful, together as a family?
  • How can we live our values, and teach our children and grandchildren to do the same?
  • How will we know we’ve made a difference?

Hammer & Associates has been supporting family philanthropists and individuals for 19 years. We listen first. We ask questions. We collect data and offer options with pros and cons to help you make the best decision that aligns with your values.

We can help you:

  • Realize your family’s philanthropic potential and legacy
  • Plan and manage your giving – pairing your passion with strategy
  • Ten to the day-to-day administrative tasks so you and your staff don’t have to
  • Guide the next generation in order to preserve family legacy
  • Strengthen family relationships and communication
  • Manage transition points, including succession, change in assets, and spend down

Trust, integrity, and discretion are at the heart of our business. Our clients trust us to oversee and right-size their grantmaking, guide them through important decisions, and train the next generation as family leaders.

Philanthropy that is purpose-driven, joyful, and impactful.
